Sunday July 11-1937 About 9.30 started south to St. Blan- dine Church, to find if possible the contact be- tween the Quebec series and the Silurian. Here seems to be no chance to find it here. Saw a Silurian sequence for two miles down, all a muddy siltstone series with some fine grained ss and rare very thin lls. The latter are at times made up of broken fossils mostly crinoidal matter, but nothing was recogniz- able. In the limy siltstones saw one Schuchertella, Dalmanella, Atrypa reticularis, Bilo- fites Tildra, Lyellia Platyceras and several species of Hiraulos. All are fresh fossils in the limestone at our Tavannes. It is possible that the lower beds are of Trent- port age, but I rather think all is Mid. Silurian. Then had lunch at the St. Laurent in Rimouski. At 1.30 started north down the St. Lawrence river. At Metis there is much Languy g t intruded with red and green slate
